$wgPasswordSender value in Localsettings.php is not getting honoured - MediaWiki-l

6 Jan 2013

Hi,

I have the following configurations in our wiki's Localsettings.php file

require_once( "$IP/includes/DefaultSettings.php" );
$wgSitename         = "TestWiki";
$wgScriptPath       = "/wiki";
$wgScriptExtension  = ".php";
$wgEnableEmail      = true;
$wgEnableUserEmail  = true;
$wgEmergencyContact = &#39;toaddress(a)example.com&#39;com';
$wgPasswordSender = &#39;fromaddress(a)example.com&#39;com';
$wgPasswordSenderName = 'Wiki Admin';
$wgNoReplyAddress = &#39;no-reply(a)example.com&#39;com';

But it's not honoring $wgPasswordSender, $wgPasswordSenderName &
$wgPasswordSenderName variables alone and using the default values in
includes/DefaultSettings.php as mentioned below.

$serverName = substr( $wgServer, strrpos( $wgServer, '/' ) + 1 );
$wgEmergencyContact = 'wikiadmin@' . $serverName;
$wgPasswordSender = 'apache@' . $serverName;
$wgPasswordSenderName = 'MediaWiki Mail';
$wgNoReplyAddress = &#39;reply(a)not.possible&#39;ble';

Message from maillog says that it doesn't accepting the from address that's
been configured in Localsettings.php because of which our SMTP server is
blocking the mails.

from=&lt;apache(a)localhost.localdomain&gt;in>, size=1093, class=0, nrcpts=1, msgid=<

relay=c1master [127.0.0.1]

Our SMTP server accepts mails only if it comes from a valid "From" email ID
& because of this email is not getting delivered.

Thanks,
